This was the first time Xiao Chen had come to the Ancient Sacred Sect. His heart was filled with a myriad of emotions. It had been a long time since he first arrived at the Tianhe Continent. Now, Xiao Chen finally arrived at the Ancient Sacred Sect, one of the four major sects that dominated the Tianhe Continent.
Although Tianfeng Shengzong was also known as a Sacred Sect, Tianfeng Shengzong paled in comparison to the Ancient Sacred Sect. Strictly speaking, there was only one Sacred Sect in the entire Ancient Sacred State, and that was the Ancient Sacred Sect. This was because the Tianfeng Saint and the others were all Saints that belonged to the Ancient Sacred Sect.
As the true center of the Ancient Sacred State, where experts from all over gathered, the Ancient Sacred Sect controlled everything in the Ancient Sacred State.
Walking out of the teleportation array, Xiao Chen discovered that the entire Ancient Sacred Sect was built on an endless plain. However, the buildings of the Ancient Sacred Sect were actually floating in mid-air.
An entire cluster of buildings that stretched for an unknown number of miles floated in midair. From afar, it looked like a fairyland. Within the sect, disciples of the Ancient Sacred Sect could be seen flying in the air between the various buildings.
Imagine a sect that was built in mid-air. In order to survive in the Ancient Sacred Sect, one had to be at least in the Dao Querying Realm. This was because one had to be able to fly. Otherwise, one wouldn't even be able to leave the Ancient Sacred Sect.
In the Ancient Sacred Sect, it was impossible for martial artists below the Dao Querying Realm to survive. Of course, as the ruler of the Ancient Sacred State, the Ancient Sacred Sect wouldn't accept martial artists below the Dao Querying Realm.
As though he was walking through a fairyland, Xiao Chen arrived at the core of the Ancient Sacred Sect under the lead of the Kuang Li Saint and the Tianfeng Saint. This was also where the Sacred Hall of the Ancient Sacred Sect was located.
As the name suggested, the Sacred Hall was the place where the Saints of the Ancient Sacred Sect discussed matters. Of course, most of the time, the Sacred Hall was just a symbol. This was because the Saints rarely gathered together. Once they did, it meant that something big was about to happen.
It was a magnificent Sacred Hall. Xiao Chen thought that he had seen many magnificent palaces before, such as the main hall of Tianfeng Shengzong and so on.
However, after seeing the Sacred Hall of the Ancient Sacred Sect with his own eyes, Xiao Chen realized that the magnificent palaces that he had seen before were like thatched huts compared to the Sacred Hall. The two palaces weren't on the same level at all..
If Xiao Chen wanted to become the Chosen Son of the Ancient Sacred Sect, he naturally needed to go through a series of assessments. Furthermore, the appointment of the Chosen Son and the Chosen Son required the approval of all the Saints of the Ancient Sacred Sect before it could take effect. Now, the first step was naturally to test Xiao Chen's Haotian Gate.
Currently, there were only a total of four Saints in the Ancient Sacred Sect, and there were only four prospective Saints. Of course, being a prospective Saint didn't mean that they would definitely become a Saint. It only meant that they had the possibility of becoming a Saint. As for whether they could actually become one was still uncertain. After all, being a Saint wasn't just a matter of battle prowess. It was also very strict about age.
If they failed to become a Saint before reaching the age of a certain age, they would be demoted to personal disciples.
As a result, becoming a prospective Saint didn't mean that they could become a Saint. These were two different matters. Moreover, based on past experience, there might not even be a single Saint out of ten prospective Saints.
"Let's go in," the Tianfeng Saint said softly to Xiao Chen. With that, the Tianfeng Saint and the Kuang Li Saint entered the Sacred Hall first.
The Sacred Hall was magnificent and solemn. As soon as he entered, Xiao Chen saw numerous statues standing on both sides of the passageway.
The passageway led to the depths of the Sacred Hall. There were a total of several dozen statues, representing all the Saints that had appeared since the Ancient Sacred Sect's founding.
Among them, Xiao Chen saw the Tianfeng Saint, the Kuang Li Saint, and the Qing Jue Saint. Xiao Chen even saw the statues of the six Quasi Saints in the depths of the Sacred Hall.
The six Quasi Saints were the founding masters of the Ancient Sacred Sect. They were also the ones who had founded the Ancient Sacred Sect.
He went all the way to the main hall at the core of the Holy Sanctum. After passing through the long corridor known as the Corridor of the Saints, Xiao Chen saw a circular hall before him.
The ceiling of the hall was very high, and the entire hall was built with pieces of spiritual stones. Using spiritual stones to build a building was definitely unprecedented. At the same time, because of the spiritual stones, the entire hall seemed like the starry sky, giving off an extremely profound feeling.
Within the extremely spacious hall, there were sixteen prayer mats arranged in a semicircle. The sixteen prayer mats represented the sixteen Saints that the Ancient Sacred Sect currently possessed.
After bringing Xiao Chen into the hall, a handsome young man's figure gradually appeared on one of the prayer mats. It was the Qing Jue Saint.
The Qing Jue Saint smiled at the Kuang Li Saint and the Tianfeng Saint, "You can begin."
According to the rules, three Saints had to be present at the same time to confirm the birth of the Chosen Saint. Now, there were three Saints present at the same time, which was in accordance with the rules of the Ancient Sacred Sect.
Hearing Saint Qingjue's words, Saint Kuangli and Saint Tianfeng also came to their own futons and sat down cross-legged. Under the gaze of the three Saints, Xiao Chen was about to demonstrate his Dao.
"Kid, this is the Ancient Path Stone Tablet. Inject your spiritual energy into it and the stone tablet will manifest your Dao Gate. Go on," Saint Qing Jue said with a smile as he threw out a huge stone tablet that was more than ten meters tall from his storage ring.
With that, Xiao Chen slowly walked over to the stele. He slowly extended his right hand and gently pressed it against the stele. It was cold to the touch. Afterwards, as Xiao Chen poured his spiritual energy into it, the stele began to emit a faint white light. Because of the white light, the stele seemed to become a Gate of Dao. This Gate of Dao was the Gate of Dao within Xiao Chen's body. There were eight corners at the top.
The three Saints' expressions did not change at all when they saw the changes to the stele. After all, they already knew that Xiao Chen's Gate of Dao was an octagonal Gate of Dao. The only reason they had to test it again was because of the rules of the Ancient Sacred Sect. Moreover, the process of the test had to be recorded through talismans for the other Saints to watch. After all, the Chosen Saint's appointment required the approval of all the Saints.
"It is indeed an octagonal Gate of Dao. Not bad. Since that's the case, let's arrange for this kid to take the test." The Qing Jue Saint nodded slightly.
After confirming the Gate of Dao, Xiao Chen was arranged to rest in a small courtyard. Because he had not completed the test, strictly speaking, Xiao Chen was not a disciple of the Ancient Sacred Sect. This was only Xiao Chen's temporary residence.
